Five Soldiers Named as Members of Evans, Kidnap Kingpin’s Gang

By
The Nigerian Voice

THE Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT), has arrested a soldier and declared four others wanted for being members of the gang of the alleged kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, aka Evans, who is now in police custody.

This came on the heels of the explanation of the Lagos State Police Command as to why it is still holding Evans without charging him to court.

In a press release, the Lagos State Police Command gave the name of the arrested soldier as Lance Corporal Victor Chukwunonso with Army No: 09/NA/64/6317. He was attached to the Nigeria Army Band Corps Abalti Barracks, Surulere, Lagos.

Chukwunonso who is a native of Onitsha, Anambra State, was arrested in Ojo area of Lagos. He was alleged to have received various sums of money three times from Evans (N2 million, N1.5 million and N3 million) as his share of the ransoms paid by some of the victims he assisted in kidnapping.

Prior to the Lagos Police Command issuing the press release, a dependable police source had told Sunday Sun: “Four other soldiers who were named by Evans during interrogation have been declared wanted. They have been named as the formidable forces behind his successful reign as a kidnapper.

“IRT arrested Nonso and handed him over to us. We are keeping him in our custody, but I won’t tell you where he is kept because of the sensitive nature of the case. I don’t know how you got the information, but it is true. We have a soldier in our custody; Evans named some soldiers as the ones who always accompanied his gang on each operation.

“Well, we are still conducting investigations, to unmask more persons that aided him. It is a serious issue that soldiers would be supporting evil such as kidnapping,” he said. However, the Lagos State Police Command yesterday explained why Evans had not been charged to court.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni, who addressed the press said: “Evans is a special kind of criminal that needs proper debriefing. We are using him as a case study. This is a man that has committed a lot of crimes. He struck in Abuja, Anambra, Imo, South-south and South-west states. You can see the magnitude of crimes that he committed.”

Owoseni, who was represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr Dansuki Galadanchi, further said: “We are still studying Evans. There are more revelations and more arrests each week. You can’t just charge such crafty criminal like Evans to court. He needs more debriefing, which is what we are still doing.”

He also explained why a suspect, Emeka, who was arrested in connection with Mr Donatus Duru’s abduction was released.

“The police did not release Emeka, we charged him to court after Evans and his gang told us that they have never met him. We did identification parade and he was not identified. We also did voice analysis and experts could not identify his voice in all the telephone conversations Evans did with his phones. Evans said there was no way Emeka would have known his enclave since those who go for kidnapping did not know the place. They kidnapped and those who kept the victims would meet them on the way and pick the victims. After painstakingly interrogating Emeka and members of the gang of Evans, we found no evidence against him, but we charged him to court and the court released him.

“His former boss, Duru saw reasons with the court, so there was no foul play in his release.” – Sunday Sun.

The police are now doing their job, well some of the security that we have are not for us they are for making there money, imaging a soldier who is serving Nigeria as a country has involved his self in kidnapping rich men. I suggest that Evans should be released but that soldier man should be kill

we don't have security here in Nigeria, all they police, SARS, soldiers etc... are thiefs , is bcus Evans case is out everybody is now talking rubb**h.. if God can open all their secret we will knw that all of them are dsame.. nonsense people, u people shud free the man jor.

Vivian God bless you don't mind them all of them are d same, police Na thief wat of the money there collecting from okadas nd Maruwas, is only God almighty will judge them in this country. even our sick London man na thief.

Truly,am disappointed,many nigerians don't know anything about the dangers of Crime. Vivian &co may you be the nexct victims,so that you can learn moral lessons from trauma. Hate it or like it just go on exile if. you re one of them..

who ever is thinking or suggesting that Evans should be free, may kidnappers locate that person and his family members. He has done the crime let him do the time, that also includes all his accomplices.

why some people thing abnormal, some people's are stooped, some don't know what they support to write on medians, If you knew the crime this guy is committee, you would say like that; u don't know some victims are die in his hand if the family of the person they didn't respond in time, that is where some some we started having an heart attack immediately the person is release from the hand of kidnappers.

God will help us in this country how did you guys think that police would free Evans even God him self would not allow such things to happen did you know what it's take to kidnap ur relatives comon I play God will not allow us to witness it ijn

I didn't surprised course some people didn't understand English.how can some that committed a lot of crime killing fellow human an distroy many peoples life an they are saying he should realise? I pray ARMY ROBBER will kill the parents of those who said they should live him my special grace of GOD

Evans and his culprit should be brought to book..even his community members and chiefs in Anambra state who knew about this and kept mute all this while should be persecution....... and all the military men involved should be treated accordingly.., Nigeria must change!!!!! my worst fear is that there are still prominent Nigerian citizens who are heavily involved in this.... Justice must prevail.. . God help naija

dats naija for u, u notice dat some Igbo will never c any wrong in a man who admitted killing several people. left to me dis people shud b allowed their Biafra and let's c a country without law work.the way some Igbo people exhibit their hatred nd intolerance of others draws hatred of them a thousand times more.

what are we saying here?????.I want to ask
is it spirit that sponsors book/H if security is working why can't they identify suppliers of
fulani people weapons and expose people
who are behind that.then everybody will
know that yes you are working not because
one person business.

Vivian pls is time to talk f**lish woman with f**lish before this year will end kindnap will visit ur family hold rubb**h. if ur are mad in social media and u don't know how to talk u better learn. but if u continue to support bad thing it will surely reach u one way or they other.

It takes a mentally ill person to talk about tribe when we are talking about a universal evil. We have criminals in every tribe. Let's condemn evil and perform our obligations by exposing those threatening our existence.

so Evans case is now bigger Dan is our f**lish leaders dat stole our money every day if Evans should be killed all d senators representatives governors nd even d past nd present presidents should be brought to book cux all of dem are criminals rubb**h country, no wonder Nnamdi kalu call dis country zoo nd truly I now see reasons wit him nonsense

Nothing to fight over here, the did has been done and you and I have nothing to do to effect changes. Justices will take it place and I believe both Evans and the so called sodier will be dealt with accordingly.

Police should investigate this posters too, see how shallow some of them thought is on Evans case. This shows how we think in this country, if it is in advance country, Mr Evans will be turn in and use as tools against other criminals.

evans is evil....!!!! a very greedy kidnaper.... bet me, he has killed alot of his victim dat neva made his demand.....he is a very heartless kidnapper with no mercy....dey should in no way release dat man cox wallai....he will grow wild....crime is in his blood....if u recall how many times has he escaped death?....still he never gave up d husle, instead he grows wild....i have only one option for d police or whoever ''evans should be killed'' period he thar has ear should hear....''evans is evil''
